Wingware Python IDE

The Intelligent Development Environment for Python Programmers

Wing IDE requires a time-limited trial or permanent
license and the license needs to be activated on each machine (see the Licenses section for
general information). When Wing IDE is first started, you can obtain a
trial licence, purchase a permanent license, install & activate a permanent
license, or use Wing for up to 10 minutes without any license:

Trial Licenses

Trial licenses allow evaluation of Wing IDE for 10 days, with an option to
extend the evaluation twice for up to 30 days total (or more on request). The most convenient way to
obtain a trial license is to ask Wing IDE to connect directly to wingware.com
(via http, TCP/IP port 80). After the trial license is obtained,
Wing will not attempt to connect to wingware.com (or any other site)
unless you submit feedback or a bug report through the Help menu.

If you're unable or unwilling to connect Wing IDE directly to
wingware.com, you can go to http://wingware.com/activate and enter the
license id and activation request number obtained from Wing. After entering this information, you
will be given an activation key which you can enter into Wing's dialog box to
complete the activation. This is exactly the same exchange of information that
occurs when Wing IDE connects directly to wingware.com to obtain a trial
license.

If activation fails, Wing will provide a way to configure an http proxy.
Wing tries to detect and use proxies by default but in some cases they
will need to be manually configured. Please ask your network
administrator if you do not know what proxy settings to use. See also
how to determine proxy settings.

When Wing is installed on a shared drive (for example a USB keydrive,
or on a file server), the User Settings Directory where the license
activation is stored may be accessed from several different computers.

In this case, Wing must be activated once on each computer. The resulting
extra activations will be stored as license.act1, license.act2, and
so forth, and Wing will automatically select the appropriate activation
depending on where it is running.
